Judicial Voter Guide
A judge left the NC Court of Appeals in August to take a seat on the
federal court. Under the NC Constitution, the vacant office must be
filled by an election this November. Thirteen candidates are running
for the office (profiles inside). It’s too late to hold a primary. Under
NC law, this election will use an Instant Runoff Voting method. Voters
indicate who they prefer among the candidates at the “instant” they
vote, by ranking as many as three choices 1, 2, and 3. If your 1st
choice loses, your 2nd or 3rd choice could help determine who wins.
